Vendors and Ordering Instructions



Library media staff does not need to use a specific vendor/jobber for purchasing print, non-print and/or supplies.

The county Board of Education purchases and maintains the databases for all school library media centers.

Library media staff approves and purchases print, non-print and supplies according to the selection procedures and criteria.

Ordering


Library media staff will ensure:
  • Appropriate funds are used for the purchasing of all library materials.
  • All purchases meet the standards set forth in the MSDE Standards for Library Media Programs in Maryland.

Vendors


  • The County Public Schools shall not extend favoritism to any vendors. Each order shall be placed on the basis of quality, price and delivery, with past service being a factor. The school system will not knowingly conduct business with any party who has been convicted of bribery, attempted bribery or conspiracy to bribe.

  • No soliciting salespeople or representatives will be allowed to interview teachers during school hours regarding purchases except in special circumstances as defined by procedures established by the Superintendent.
